History
of WOOOThe original location of WOOO-AM 1310 was
112 1/2 West New York
Ave.
Mr. Brian Tolby, the former owner of WSBB-AM
1230 in New Smyrna Beach, solved a "radio mystery" for me
about some of the stations in Deland. Here is some of that email. "...I
worked there (WOOO) through (my) graduation from Stetson (University
in Deland) and bought it (the station) in 1964 under the corporate name Shom Broadcasting, Inc.
When it went on the air it was 500 watts. Went to 1,000 (watts) in 1961
and to 5,000 watts in '62. It remained as WOOO until I sold it to Tom
Joyner from Texas, in l975 when the call letters changed to WKKX. In
that same building...where WYND is today was WDLF-FM
105.9..."

The holder of the
original construction permit was W.H.
Martin in 1956. Martin was the President of Deland
Broadcasters, Inc. and based out of Douglas, Georgia.
